Progress Review

Hi guys,

This is a little test project i am working on as i go through the my courses on tree house.

Experiment

I have hosted it on dropbox because so you can keep track of my progress and offer much needed advice and inputs.

For starters though i would love to hear what you think of my progress so far.

Thank you very much in advance

Looks great so far! The biggest improvement you could make right now is the logo. On a retina display, it looks very pixelated, but because it's a transparent .gif instead of a .png with full alpha transparency, I imagine it looks jagged on normal displays as well.

I would simply re-export this from Photoshop or whatever image editing tool you're using and create a .png with an alpha channel. Browser support is good enough now that you shouldn't have to worry about it unless you're trying to support IE6 and back.

Hi Zablon

Looking good so far :) One quick recommendation. Now that you've got the basic homepage design, you can tackle making it Responsive.

I'm really digging the Recent Projects section

I'd break up your body text into about 5 lines to make the text more scannable

To increase readability, I'd lighten the shade of green on the background of view project links

I noticed that there's a rouge comment tag (-->) at the bottom of the page
